Watch how to make this recipe
2
Make the Cookie Dough: Cream the butter in a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or use a hand-held beater) until soft and fluffy
3
Add both sugars and mix
4
Add the vanilla and 1 egg and mix
5
Add the remaining egg and mix
6
Add the flour, baking soda, and salt and mix
7
Add the chips and mix just until just combined
8
Using your hands, roll the dough into a long thin rope; then cut into small bits
9
Refrigerate until ready to use
10
Make the Ice Cream Base: In a saucepan over medium heat, heat the half-and-half, cream, and vanilla, whisking occasionally, to make sure the mixture doesn't burn or stick to the bottom of the pan
11
When the cream mixture reaches a fast simmer (do not let it boil), turn off the heat and let the flavors infuse for 10 minutes
12
Whisk together the egg yolks and sugar
13
In a thin stream, whisk half of the cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture
14
Then pour the egg-cream mixture back into the saucepan containing the rest of the cream mixture
15
Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon
16
At 160 degrees F
17
, the mixture will give off a puff of steam
18
When the mixture reaches 180 degrees F, it will be thickened and creamy, like eggnog
19
(If you don't have a thermometer, test it by dipping a wooden spoon into the mixture
20
Run your finger down the back of the spoon
21
If the stripe remains clear, the mixture is ready; if the edges blur, the mixture is not quite thick enough
22
) When it is ready, quickly remove it from the heat
23
Meanwhile, put 2 handfuls of ice cubes in the bottom of a bowl, and add cold water to cover
24
Rest a smaller bowl in the ice water
25
Pour the cream mixture through a fine sieve (to remove the vanilla bean pieces and cinnamon sticks) into the smaller bowl
26
Chill for 3 hours
27
Freeze the cream mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions
28
Meanwhile, put a bowl in the freezer
29
When the ice cream is frozen, remove the bowl from the freezer, and transfer the ice cream to it
30
Fold in the chocolate chip cookie dough (you may not need all of it)
31
Pack the ice cream into sealable containers and return to the freezer
32
(Make cookies: bake any leftover dough in a preheated 350 degree F
33
Oven for about 10 to 12 minutes)
